Hey everyone! My name is Jenn Haley. I grew up in Coventry, Rhode Island, a town located 35 minutes away from the Academy. Being so close to my hometown definitely has its perks as I get to see my parents, my awesome twin brother, Matt, and my friends often. I am so grateful for the support from my family and friends, both from home and at the Academy, and I don’t know what I would do without them.

Attending the Coast Guard Academy has been a longtime dream of mine. After finding out about this amazing place where you acquire a great education and train for an exciting, adventurous career as an officer in the Coast Guard during my freshman year of high school, I was hooked. I worked hard throughout high school and am thrilled to be lucky enough to earn an appointment and be here today.

At the Academy, I will be running cross country and track. Some of my best memories in high school were from being a part of the XC and track teams, so I’m very excited to have the opportunity to continue running here at the Academy. Other than that, I enjoy listening to music (mostly KE$HA), shopping (although it’s not quite as much fun when you can’t actually wear the clothes…), and just loving life.
